Transaction timeouts leave garbage Status.ROLLEDBACK UserTransaction object bound to the thread
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-4481
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4481
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Transaction Manager
    Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.0.GA
            Reporter: Gavin King
         Assigned To: Mark Little
            Priority: Blocker


If a transaction timeout occurs, the UserTransaction object does not get cleaned up from the thread, even after the request ends and the thread returns to the pool. Future requests will not be able to begin() a transaction, since the STATUS_ROLLEDBACK UserTransaction throws this exception:

Caused by: javax.transaction.NotSupportedException
	at com.arjuna.ats.internal.jta.transaction.arjunacore.BaseTransaction.begin(BaseTransaction.java:79)
	at com.arjuna.ats.jbossatx.BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.begin(BaseTransactionManagerDelegate.java:77)
	at org.jboss.tm.usertx.client.ServerVMClientUserTransaction.begin(ServerVMClientUserTransaction.java:124)
	at org.jboss.seam.transaction.UTTransaction.begin(UTTransaction.java:29)

This means that any transaction timeout that occurs will leave the application server in a permanently broken state and require a server restart. Hence 4.2.0.GA is currently unusable in production!

This needs to be fixed in an immediate patch release.
